4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tan Xiaojun <tanxiaojun@huawei.com>

commit 1572e45a924f254d9570093abde46430c3172e3d upstream.

Use "proc_dointvec_minmax" instead of "proc_dointvec" to check the input
value from user-space.

If not, we can set a big value and some vars will overflow like
"sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate" which will cause a lot of unexpected
problems.
